that's what is known as Binary Amplification, popularised by the wonderful
BASS release, but used in many other instances both before and after BASS.
In some cases, one channel was recorded in one location, and channel 2 in
another (Ondas). The question is not why, but why not?

Could be. The CD definitely was just one very long track. I distinctly
remember that because I tried to listen to it in the store, but their CD
player didn't have a working FF button so there was no way to sample deeper
into the track. I sat and listened for 3 minutes without hearing a thing
because the store's stereo system was so loud it completely drowned out
everything in my headphones. The thing that made me think it was Almost
Digital was the label. I thought I recalled the project being on Hypnotism
or Hypnotic or some such label. But I could be wrong about that. My
recollection of the cover art was a relatively simple, nondescript
monochromish look with a predominance of maybe pale violet (I'm somewhat
colorblind so that could be off, unfortunately). It was definitely an Atom
Heart project though. Ring any bells anyone?

That's Digital Superimposing for sure. The first three minutes are silent
as far I was able to tell. It is a very long, "ambient" track. Some beaty
ambient structures end up evolving after a while and visit the
"nothingness" (not actual silence though) occasionally. This review may
not be fair as I've only listened to the cd once or twice.

I'd think of it as one of those brian eno-esque pieces, that you can't
actually focus upon for satisfaction, they only work their magic when you
aren't listening to it. I've yet to listen to it in this way, but I will.

Yes, I've had the "Milagro" CD-EP for a while now.

Using your visual description of "Morphogernetic Fields," I would say I
have definitely never seen this. I bought my "Milagro" out of a bargain
bin about two years ago and have seen it around a few times since. I've
also noticed plenty of other CD-EP bargains on the Our Choice/Rough Trade

I'm just wondering if it's illegal to copy cd that are no longer available.
I know it's illegal to make copies of Celine Dion's latest album because if
you do so, she will get less money (and RenÈ will be angry). But if it's
IMPOSSIBLE to get a certain cd even with a huge amount of money, i do no
harm to the artist.

Don't you all think the same way ?

I'm asking because i'm thinking about trading mp3 or cd copies since i

Yes, it is illegal. Even if a CD or LP is unavailable or out-of-print or
whatever, the artist still retains all copyrights on both the musical
composition and the recording performance and could come after you legally
-- if they wanted to -- for unathorised copying. It's just simply "too
bad" if something has gone out-of-print. You don't have any *legal* rights
to make copies and distribute just because it is not commercially
available.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you make copies for yourself (only) after you have bought a legitimate
copy, according to the USA laws, this is legal. If you SELL *or* GIVE AWAY
copies, this is ILLEGAL.

These "music consumer" laws were finally hammered out by the USA Congress
back when consumer audio recording technology was strictly analogue tape-
based (music cassette, open reel, 8-track, and <gasp> el-cassette). Since
then, digital duplicating technology has slowly taken hold in the consumer
domain and now many record companies maintain that making ANY DIGITAL
COPIES (this means DAT, CD-R, Mini-Disc, MP3, CD-R/W, etc) of their music
is illegal.

They came to this decision by interpreting clauses of the (now old)
existing law concerning mass duplication in a way to include any digital
technologies. Even though they are definitely walking a fine grey line
here, many record companies consider DIGITAL copying as illegal because --
as far as they are concerned -- digital copying constitutes conspiracy to
perform mass duplication. This is particularly bizarre when you take the
example of Sony: Makers of pre-recorded music, digital copying
technologies (CD-R, CD-R/W, Mini-Disc), and digital copying media!

Chances are when these laws are finally amended, you'll likely find (guess
what) Mini-Disc as the only "accepted" digital copying technology, because
Sony will lobby hard for its patented technology. Even though Mini-Disc is
digital technology, its audio compression is "lossey" and thus like good
ol' analogue technology, and so the "infinite copying issue" becomes
somewhat moot.

Well...that's not what I heard:

reprinted from the copyright
FAQ (ftp://ftp.aimnet.com/pub/users/carroll/law/copyright/faq/part3)

3.7) Can I legally make a cassette copy of a musical CD for my own use,
so I can play it in my car?

This issue has been argued back and forth for many years, with consumers
groups arguing that this was a fair use (see sections 2.8 and 2.9), and the
recording industry arguing that it was not. The issue was finally settled
by Congress when the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) (P.L. 102-563, 106
Stat. 4237, codified at 17 U.S.C. 1001 - 1010) was passed in October 1992.
This Act added ten sections to Title 17, one of which provided an
alternative to the fair use analysis for musical recordings. The new
section states:

No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of
copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a
digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an
analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the
noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making
digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.

17 U.S.C. 1008.

As the legislative history to this statute noted, "In short, the reported
legislation would clearly establish that consumers cannot be sued for
making analog or digital audio copies for private noncommercial use."
H.R. Rep. 102-780(I).

Does this mean you can make copies for your family and friends, as long as
it's not "commercial?" A strict reading of the words in the statute would
seem to say that you may. This is not as outrageous as it sounds. Part of
the impetus behind the AHRA was the perception that blank tapes were being
used mostly to copy commercial musical sound recordings. As a result, the
AHRA provided that a royalty payment (referred to as a "DAT tax" by its
detractors) be paid for each sale of digital audio tape to compensate
authors of musical works and sound recordings for the profits lost due to
these copies. See 17 U.S.C. 1003, 1004. Arguably, the AHRA anticipates and
allows exactly this type of copying, and a literal reading of section 1008
would tend to support this position. But the AHRA is still sufficiently
new this hasn't been tested in court yet.

Note, also, that this section applies only to musical recordings; it
clearly does not include spoken word recordings. Of course, it is still
possible that such a use of a spoken word recording might still be
considered a section 107 fair use (see sections 2.8 and 2.9), even though
section 1008 does not apply to provide a clear exemption.

[AHRA stuff deleted]

While this *was* true when the AHRA was passed, the rules have changed
since then. The "No Digital Copying Act" (or something to that effect)
which was passed recently amends the copyright laws so that you are an
infringer if you distribute copyrighted material, even if you receive
nothing in return. The law was passed in order to prevent the thing that
happened at MIT where someone uploaded a copy of Microsoft Word to a BBS
where others could download it for free. Since the person who ran the BBS
and the uploader received no money in return for it, it was very hard to
prosecute them as copyright infringers, so they passed this law. It pretty
clearly applies to music recordings as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to look up the language (or the
name of the Act) right now. The effect of the Act is to redefine
"noncommercial" so that handing out or trading tapes or CDRs with
friends is no longer covered, though that might not be the specific
language.

Likely not. However, I believe it is important to know what side of the
law you are on when you do these things.

I'd wager that Uwe probably doesn't mind people making re-recordings of his
out-of-print stuff, but I have no basis for that belief apart from "it
seems right." Maybe someone on this list can contact him and get a
definitive answer?

I think I might have to agree with you, because you've put so much stress
on
the IMPOSSIBLE. But I'm not sure that there are any that are *actually*
impossible. OK, I'm having big trouble with one or two, but that's only a
temporary thing I'm sure.
And if I were to accept a CDR copy of one - speaking hypothetically of
course ;-) - I'd still be after an original.

Hmmm...one for the lawyers on the list:

If I own a CD, is it legal (well, under US law or any other you happen to
know about) for me to accept a CDR copy of that same music from somebody
else? This might be relevant if my copy were damaged or, pehaps, stolen
(bastards bastards bastards!!!)

Well, I'm afraid you are in the minority! There's a growing horde of
misfits around that have no intention whatsoever in legitimately
purchasing any CD, if they can help it. And it's not like they are
poor, as they make sizable investments in CD-R equipment, software,
and CD-R media -- not to mention copying time.

Nope. Because you would be (knowingly) receiving a product of illegal
activities. But, hypothetically, it would be rather hard for a record
company or artist to prove that the CD-R copy you had wasn't made by you
for your own use -- unless you did not own a CD-R drive. If you didn't

==========================================================================
Quite possibly the Atom Heart + Finkbeiner CD was scheduled to be
released at some point on the calendar by POD, but the plug was
pulled on POD Comm before then. But, if Uwe has the rights to the
recording, then he has probably decided to not release it (probably
for very good reasons!).

POD Communications was dissolved over a year ago. POD's parent
company -- Plastic Head Distribution (a.k.a. -- PHD) is still around
pushing heavy metal and other whatnot. Various POD Communications
releases can still be had, as most were slow sellers and some are
still in the wholesale channel.

Subject: (atom) Rabelais explains -23-

Hi all,

I'm back from an extended holiday in Europe (had a top time :^) My holiday
reading for train travel and lazy afternoons for the most part was the
Penguin Classics translation of Francois Rabelais' "Gargantua and
Pantagruel" [written 1534-~53]. An excellent book btw - it seems to go
well with the summer holiday in the northern hemisphere (not that my
holiday was especially Rabelaisian, mind you).

I mention this because at one part he says something that may help explain
the significance of the no. 23, as discussed here earlier on in the year.
Interesting as the context is I'll spare you all the bother and just give
what he says:

"Pythagoras called the quinary number [ie. 5] the nuptial number,
which indicates a wedding and the consummation of a marriage, being
composed of the triad, which is the first odd and superfluous
number, and of the dyad, which is the first even number. This
signifies the male and female in copulation. Indeed at Rome, in
the olden times, they would light five wax candles on a wedding day;
and it was not permissible to light more, even at the marriage of
the wealthiest, or fewer, even at the marriage of the very poorest.
Moreover, in the olden days the pagans used to implore the
assistance of five deities, or one god for five good offices, on
behalf of those about to be married." (p.342f)

Subject: (atom) Review: M.P.A."MU"

Masters of Psychedelic Ambiance "MU" (RI028)

How much fun it must be to be able to release material like this. 27
tracks of mind-warping weirdness from the heralded Masters who brought you
the marvelous Datacide project series. This disc is quite the curiosity!
Not as similar-sounding to Datacide as one might initially be inclined to
think, MU is a mindset prism, a refraction device for the headphonaut's
moods. Many seemingly incongruous tones and atmospheres are strung
together until anticipation and nostalgia become indistinguishable. And
don't be deceived, this multitude of sonic segments continuously flows into
3 continuous pieces that convey the feel of the pleasantly overextended
experimental style AND the well-seasoned and time-tested sound. And this
won't be your average please-don't-peal-me-off-the-couch-man chill-out
session. Only the all-terrain ambienteers will survive, as the listener
frequently deals with counterintuitive changes and sequencing
contradictions. Grinding, trickling, howling, warbling, squeezable
metallic textures will help melt down those rational thoughts and aid in
the discovery of new, more potent mental alloys!

I suppose there may only be 2 stand-alone song-like tracks here, #18
(Backward Journey) and #23 (Rather Sleep Then Dance). This latter track
was also subsequently released in a slightly altered form on the Real
Intelligence (RI033) compilation, and may be suggestive of both the post-
partyvibe schools of philosophy and reality-permeating synchronicities.

We begin with Start Smart (#1), a simple "beep" which conveniently allows
said headphonaut to adjust the volume to the appropriate level. Heaven
knows all these darn ahmbiant discs we are faced with in this day and age
are recorded at drastically different loudnesses! Now, you need not fear
that your floating relaxation tones rise to the roar of a freshly layed
jetstream... Owtch! Immediately after this duty is fulfilled, we proceed
to track 2, Artificial Countryside (not to be confused with the Artificial
Seaside of 2nd Nature), which yields images of mechanical crickets perched
on reflective tubular reeds and a nearby color-cycling, frequency-babbling
brook. A pulse rolls in every now and then while a chimed melody trails
off. The next barrage of loopy strangeness comes labeled as Lotus (#3),
Tonic Scanner, Sequence Gardening, DAT Prayer, and Chi Filter (#7). This
goes from the gently meditative to a swirl of sounds that hint at the
fleeting random neural messages that disperse just before us humans fall
asleep. "Song" 1 ends with a reprise called Coming Down (#8).

Next phase, the narrowband assault passed through the Infinite Oscillator
(#9), morphed into a biodegradable polymer via the Plastify (#10) noise
treatment, and then the harshness dies out in the subsequent stages of
Holycore and Psychic Magic Show (#12). Distance or intentional
nonrecognisability is the main feel here. Hints of insects flying by your
ears (perhaps the artificial barnyard?!) and reverse dripping funk
culminate in Weirdom (#13) and the rgb-friendly Technicolor (#14). This
gives way to Random Radio (#15), representing the fading thoughts of Gaia
as her electromagnetic transmissions and Ethnic Overtones (#16) blend with
the moist, breathing chillosphere. You will next invoke the Instant Spirit
(#17), who also makes an appearance on Laswell's City of Light during
Kashi, which Tetsu also constructed. Hints of the Datacide strategy
emerge. Sit back now, here comes the music proper with Backward Journey
(#18), in the atypical split channel mix that we've learned to expect from
the occasional Rather Interesting release. And we've got Geeetar, folks,
yes look out it's coming for you! A solo of mother-spacely proportions
hits like the rocker collective. Voice as well, seemingly in both Japanese
and English, audibly tearing your drivers to shreds. The only certain
things I can hear are, "It's not fake, end of century, Magic Display
(#19)," along with some other ambiguous vox action. This disc is something
I'm going to be playing on New Year's Eve this year if I can help it.
Loud!!! Flash Up (#20), and then Funny Concept (#21) which reminds me of
the all-too familiar chapel organ outro.

Phase 3 of the album: Noisetalgic Vibe (#22) acts as the intro to Rather
Sleep Then Dance (#23), which make much more sense in the context of this
album. And if that isn't enough, Private Brain Session (#24), Internal
Effect, and Baby, I'm Home should finish you off. I'll close in saying
that if you ever see this disc for sale and don't buy it, particularly if
you're a Datacide fan, you will regret it till the end of your days when,
that is if, you hear it....

The first arrivals this autumn are some new and some not so new

expensive than my "regular" CD's :-/

Luckily I managed to get hold on a few copies of this legendary release
from Tetsu Inoue & Atom Heart. I have only two copies for sale at the
moment, but I will try to get more if people are interested. Sorry about
the price, but it wasn't cheap for me either.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, that's it for now - more news will follow shortly.

Subject: (atom) CD-R trading

Someone suggested asking Atom Heart about this. Officially, CD-R trading
is copyright infringement. (Merely because a title is unavailable does not
mean the holder of the copyright in that title has relinquished any of his
rights with regard to control over its distribution, or anything else.)
However, if the discs are out of print, there is no other way to obtain
them. In many cases, even if you get an official copy, it would be from
someone else reselling it. He and I have discussed the possibility and
practicality of making out-of-print titles available in On-Demand editions.
He is considering that. If or when it were to happen, it would be at an
unknown time in the future. Meanwhile, I would personally suggest that if
you are going to trade that you keep it low-profile and not-for-profit. As
a member of MACOS, I assure you that a position which advocates fair use of
samples does not mean a composer will be any less vigilant about copying of
complete works.

Yes... there's no doubt about it - in fact, I thought it was completely
hilarious the first time I spun it.... he doesn't even get the word
"Naturalist" out before it gets completely and synthetically mangled. The
whole thing (imo) is a lovely piss-take. It's also a showcase for Uwe's
stunning ability to atke *natural* sounds and warp them - subtle at first,
so it's sometimes extremely difficult to find that line where the piece has
moved from *faux acoustic* over to electronic mayhem. The opening track
for Gran Baile Con... Senor Coconut is perhaps my favorite example of Uwe's
brilliance here... fake Latin to digital madness to that lovely and
incredible ambient fade-out. Makes me drool every time I hear it. Back
to The Naturalist, you can definitely hear the motif repeating throuhout
the entire record. Excellent.

NEW RELEASE ON RATHER INTERESTING dropshadow disease

atom heart always keeps his promises. first of all you will really get a
full colour clipart poster (as the sticker on the cover says) when
purchasing this cd. second, here is the neo-pop album you were waiting
for. the 11 songs are dealing in rather interesting's typical manner with
items not all of you may know about... but this really doesn't matter.
*dropshadow disease* is about photoshop plug-in's, typographies and certain
experiences connected with the use and abuse of what some people call
design. *dropshadow disease* is a blend out of eary melodies, catchy
rhythms, funky basslines, advanced editing, unheard textures and sing-along
lyrics performed by some of the most skilled voices of apple's *macintalk*.
*dropshadow disease* translates the sound of the previous *r.i.* releases
*schnittstelle* and *naturalist* into a neo-pop surrounding. from loungy
softpop tunes like *kpt*, or pop/jazz fusions like *dingbats*, via abstract
titles such as *cut 'n' paste* or *duplex* to little cute arrangements like
*fototienda* (sung in spanish). AN ALBUM YOUR CHILDREN WILL STILL FIND
STRANGE BUT FASCINATING!

Subject: (atom) Which most like Lassigue?

Hi -

I'm new to the list, and in fact to Lassigue Bendthaus. I picked up the
Biohazard single in 1992 for 50p and completely by mistake (I was after a
single by the band Biohazard!) and have been hooked since. I then got
Matter (at Selectadisc in London) and Render (at Mixup in Mexico City -
couldn't believe they stocked it), and finally cloned last week (at the MVE
in Notting Hill Gate).

Really I have 2 questions:

1. What other stuff by Uwe Schmidt is most like Lassigue? I go for the hard
stuff like the opening 2 tracks on cloned. I bought semi-acoustic
nature, which is good but not aggressive enough for me (again from
Selectadisc on Berwick street; it was under 3 quid, think they still
have some in the techno sale section).

2. Where can I get this stuff in the London/the UK/Europe? Sister Ray just
off Berwick street stocks a lot of the RI releases and some of the LB
CDs, plus a load of FAX releases. The major record shops (Tower, HMV,
Virgin) don't, or at least I don't know where to look in the techno
sections.

Oh - I also bought Morphogenetic Fields (green cover; I think I saw someone
in the list archive saying it was mostly white, but mine is a virtually
all-green digipak). Unfortunately it does nothing for me, so if someone
wants to swap I'd be happy to. Don't really know what for, though -
suggestions, given my predilaction for beat & rhythm and a general
indifference to ambient?

Anyway, it's good to see there are others out there who are into LB!

sounds; this is a nice list), and have on more than one occasion wanted to
check out the Burnmedia site (www.burnmedia.com) that gets mentioned now
and again. However, it doesn't seem to exist anymore. Anyone know if it
has been moved to a new server or whether it is just plain gone?

Feel free of reply off-list, and thanks.

P.S. Perhaps this is a bit like jumping ahead to read the final chapter of
a book when you're still in the middle, but in late 1996 Chris was
advancing a complex but interesting theory to account for the the
numbers said by the digitized voice at the end of several RI discs.
What has time proven or disproven with respect to a method to the
sequence?

I hear it is currently under reconstruction. Try again in a week or so.

hahaha! burnmedia. ah, those were the days. bedroom authoring when the
web was still html 2.0 and tables were the hardest thing going. well,
burnmedia's pretty much on hold for now (an economically depressed era of
my life swallowed up my internic dns registration). however, all of
content previously housed at burnmedia.com can still be accessed. go here:

http://www.best.com/~scooper/burn.html/home.html

from there you can access a bunch of old, out-of-date, badly written
reviews and some old, slow-downloading .au files. miserable, really. ;)

thanks for noticing,

Subject: (atom) Jet Chamber IV review?

can someone post a review of JC4? I love 1 and 3, haven't heard 2, but
have been told it's not soo good. I think the jazzy dn'b of 3 was well
done a bit too lengthy in some spots, but a solid piece. How does 4
compare to 3?

thanks

boomboomkids wanted a review of JC4. For what it's worth, here are some of
my thoughts.

I have been thinking about JC4 for a while and wondered myself why it
hadn't been aired much on mother. Perhaps others opinions co-incide with
mine, but from previous experience that seems unlikely. Have not listened
to it in a while, but went through a phase of listening to it in the car to
and from work. I have to give it a mixed response myself. 3 tracks, all
quite lengthy.

1. This has some rather tremendous rhythmic components (Uwe?) but is
layered over with too much instrumentation of a rather "progressive
rock" type, i.e. Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Rush. Not good. Uwe just
about manages to save the day and make it bearable. Have to say, the
prog tendencies are the main reason why I've gone cold on much of the
Fax sound - look forward, not back! There's a setting on synths called
"archetypal 70s", yeah?

2. Unbearable cold and overlong intro straight out of the "Big Children's
Book of 70s Space Music". This is redeemed by a nice hip-hoppy rhythmic
passage, into which "Wish You Were Here" type guitar starts to intrude,
then it takes over in real prog guitar solo hell trying to be jazz
(Grant Green, Kenny Burrell it ain't). At last it returns to the beats.
Half a good track needing some splice and dice. Again too much Namlook,
not enough kool, man.

3. Oddly enough, the most "together" on JC4 for me. I can only descibe it
as inter-galactic spaghetti western hop chill. Works for me, won't for
everyone.

Overall, not bad, with some superb bits. Half a good CD. What about
anyone else's thoughts?

// In The Studio

* audioCode: data mining computer music's future/past --- >

This issue, Urban Sounds explores the impact of the personal computer on
current underground electronic music. Focusing on the overlap between
computer music's historical roots and a new generation of desktop
experimentalists, we spoke with five key artists porting post-techno to a
digital future: Atom Heart (Rather Interesting/Kk), Kim Cascone
(Rastermusic), John Bischoff (Artifact/The Hub/Mills College), Tetsu Inoue
(Tzadik/Caipirinha/Fax), and Robert Henke (Imbalance/Monolake/Chain
Reaction). Also, in an Urban Sounds exclusive, we asked each artist to
contribute a full-length track -- most from forthcoming releases or
otherwise unobtainable -- that you can download and listen to in RealAudio.
So get with it!

// Reviews

Our Styles section is jam packed with a ton of recent and forthcoming
releases, an expanded jungle section, and more audio than you can shake a
compression algorithm at. Check the latest from Autechre, Pole, Atom
Heart, Underground Resistance, Decoder, Irresistible Force, DJ Q-Bert,
Elementz of Noize, Larry Heard, Mannequin Lung, I-f, Mouse On Mars, Jason
Szostek, Andrea Parker, Hat, Thomas Brinkmann, Tetsu Inoue, Makai, Herbert,
Farmers Manual, and dozens more.

And don't forget to check out our full-length RealAudio mixes in a range of
styles, from techstep to Detroit techno to deepest dub. Contributors

So peep the issue and let us know what you think. We're putting together a
mailing list to make these transmissions more manageable in the future, so
give us a shout. Also, do us the favor of passing this message along to
anyone you think might be interested. We're contributor-run and without ad

Hey Hey.

As of today, the mother-list is three years old! And you know what
that means... another giveaway. I have an original copy of the Australian
cassette-only Atom Heart album, "Live P@", which I will give to one of the
people who can answer this question:

Name the other three `live' Atom Heart releases.
------------------------------------------------

Please e-mail me privately if you think you know the answer(s). I
will pick one person at random (from those participating) to receive the
cassette, free and postpaid anywhere in the world. I will announce the
winner on Friday the 2nd.
